The Only Way To Atone

When It Appears That There Is No Choice, Some Form Of Illusion Is Operating.

The Everyday Brain Could Be Dubbed "the Baseline Brain," Because It Operates At The Minimum Functioning To Keep You Alive And Healthy. It Controls Your Heart Rate, Your Blood Pressure, Your Immune Function, All Of Your Subconscious Impulses. That's Not A Minor Role; The Baseline Brain Is A Marvel Of Complexity And Efficiency. But Too Much Of It Is Devoted To Habits, Old Conditioning, Unconscious Reflexes, And Lack Of Self-awareness.

The Deepest Hunger In Life Is A Secret That Is Revealed Only When A Person Is Willing To Unlock A Hidden Part Of The Self. In The Ancient Traditions Of Wisdom, This Quest Has Been Likened To Diving For The Most Precious Pearl In Existence, A Poetic Way Of Saying That You Have To Swim Far Out Beyond Shallow Waters, Plunge Deep Into Yourself, And Search Patiently Until The Pearl Beyond Price Is Found.

Every Decision I Make Is A Choice Between A Grievance And A Miracle.

Heads Of State Are Actually Prisoners Of Special Interest Groups.
